Nissan Is Recalling for Brake Problem Again
Sometimes you read a story about a vehicle recall and understand that the situation described by the NHTSA is almost impossible: a screw from some unimportant spot might become loose, might fall out and might cause a problem... Well, this time it is about brakes and it is serious. Nissan has to recall 10,586 units of 2009 Sentra because the brake fluid may leak from the major cylinder. Although the cars have an indicator which will show the low amount of brake fluid in the cylinder, it might be too late...

Nissan GT-R blurs line between video games, reality | detnews.com | The Detroit News
I finally understand why Godzilla stomps into a city and breathes fire everywhere. He just wants to be noticed. When you're the biggest, baddest Lacertilia on the block, people should run away screaming in fear. That's how most people react to monsters. But in Detroit, if it doesn't wear a bow tie, blue oval or come with a cross-haired grille, people just don't seem to take interest.

Sneak peek: 2010 Nissan NV2500 | detnews.com | The Detroit News
Nissan debuted the NV2500 full-size commercial van concept in March, and it appears that work on the new vehicle is under way. The massive frame rails underpinning on this test vehicle and the heavy duty, eight-lug wheels show this is a serious commercial truck. This particular test car seems to be wearing at least some Armada sheet metal and probably does not represent the final design. The vents on the rear quarter panel also intrigue us. This probably means there is a battery pack somewhere at the...
